DJ NewJeansNim and Club Rich Singapore could not come to an agreement over two tracks.
SINGAPORE - Upcoming performances by a controversial South Korean DJ at a local club have been cancelled due to the performer’s insistence on playing two soundtracks with religious elements, the club said.
Mr He said that patrons who have already paid will be fully refunded. The club is hoping to find a replacement for the DJ, he added. The federation’s president, Venerable Seck Kwang Phing, told ST on May 31 that Mr He had told him about the shows’ cancellation, and said that he appreciates the “good and firm decision” in maintaining harmony in Singapore.
In a post on May 22, Mr Shanmugam said that elements typically employed by the DJ in his performances, including using religious verses and a Buddhist prayer item, “would have been offensive to our Buddhist community” and that it is “not acceptable”.
